DSSSB TGT Vacancy: 5,118 Posts by Subject, Post Code and Category

ProSyllabus is an independent study site. We are not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board, the Directorate of Education or the New Delhi Municipal Council. Every rule below is quoted or summarised from their published documents, and every sum or ratio is labelled as our own arithmetic. We print no candidate names or roll numbers.

DSSSB TGT vacancy by subject and post code

The table gives the posts for each subject: the Directorate of Education (DoE) Male line, the DoE Female line, the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) line and the sum of the three, which is our addition. The post code is DSSSB's identifier for the subject across all three lines. Under the Combined Examination Scheme a candidate sits one paper for the post code and chooses departments later, in the preference form.

Read the shape before choosing. Mathematics (1,119 posts) is the largest line, Sanskrit (631) and Urdu (626) come next, and Hindi has only 192 posts across all three lines. English has 803, Punjabi 556, Natural Science 354 and Social Science 310. The Drawing Teacher line has 527. These are the numbers DSSSB printed in January 2024; the result notices of 2025 and 2026 quote the same counts.

Category-wise: how the posts split

The advertisement prints UR, OBC, SC, ST and EWS posts for each line, then the PwBD figure that is included in them. The next table adds the three lines of each post code, so it shows the whole subject by category. Our sums match the printed grand total of each category column.

Two features of that split are worth a sentence each. First, the shares differ sharply by subject: in Sanskrit 464 of 631 posts are unreserved, while Mathematics and English carry large ST blocks (303 and 261 posts, our sums). Second, the ST column in Mathematics is 303 of 1,119, the biggest single reserved block in the whole advertisement, and DSSSB's later shortlisting notice for 803/24 reports 215 ST candidates called for e-dossier against it. A reserved post is filled only from that category's candidates in merit, so compare posts with candidates in your own category.

Male, female and NDMC: why the department lines matter

What the post codes mean

A post code has two parts: a running number and the advertisement year, so 803/24 is the third combined-exam line of 2024. In the notices we read, codes in the 800s are the ones advertised under the Combined Examination Scheme, where one exam serves several departments. Three consequences follow.

How hard was each subject? Candidates per post

The shortlisting and result notices print how many candidates appeared in the online exam. Dividing by the posts gives a rough competition ratio (our arithmetic: appeared divided by the post-code total; it ignores category, department and absentees, and it is not a probability). The spread is wide.

Social Science drew 26,945 candidates for 310 posts, about 87 per post, and Hindi and Natural Science about 74 and 70, while Sanskrit drew about 10, Urdu 2.5 and Punjabi 1.9. The language-literature posts with large post counts are the least crowded, which is not the same as easy: Section B is a subject paper, and the language postings ask for an honours degree or an elective in that language. Mathematics, English and Drawing Teacher sit in the middle at about 23, 18 and 11 per post.

Where the cycle stands on 7 October 2026

All nine post codes now have a result. Natural Science and Hindi were declared on 25 August 2026, English on 28 July, Sanskrit on 17 September and Social Science on 21 September 2026. Mathematics' cut-off page is dated 1 September 2026 and Drawing Teacher 25 June 2026. Urdu's first result notice (No. 1556) is dated 18 August 2025 and Punjabi's first result notice is listed beside it; both were later revised (Urdu notice No. 1592, Punjabi No. 131). There is no waiting list or reserve panel under the Combined Examination Scheme: the notice of 19 February 2024 says so, and each result repeats that unfilled vacancies are carried forward by the user departments. What a candidate gets next is a document check by the department, not another DSSSB list.

Our listing check on 7 October 2026 found no TGT advertisement after 02/2024: the Current Vacancies page (13 pages) lists later advertisements 01/2025 to 07/2025 (including 05/2025, Assistant Teacher Primary, and 07/2025, Multi-Tasking Staff), the PGT advertisement 10/2024 and 01/2026 to 04/2026, none for TGT. DSSSB has a Tentative Calendar page under its Combined Examination menu, but we did not read it for a date for the next TGT advertisement, so we print none.
